Chapter 746: Chapter 746: Look at my Ring (2)_1

She intentionally chose the same dress as Ai Jiang, and it was no coincidence that she arrived shortly after Ai Jiang... Did Ai Jiang not wish for everyone’s attention? Then, the first gift she would give Ai Jiang upon reunion would naturally be to steal all that attention away from her!

Of course, this was just the beginning, the real drama was yet to unfurl!

Emerging from the restroom, Xia Wan’an washed her hands and touched up her makeup in the mirror. Ensuring there were no flaws, she then put away her lipstick and powder, picked up her handbag, and returned to the party.

During her brief departure, quite a few people had arrived at the venue. Some were familiar faces from Xia Wan’an’s past, others were people she had met but didn’t know very well, and some were entirely unknown.

The most familiar of these were Han Zhijin, donned in a brilliant blue suit, and Xia Chen’an, clad in a white tailcoat.

Han Zhijin, had noticeably lost some weight. Xia Wan’an had not noticed these changes when they were together. It was only now, after not seeing him for three months, that Xia Wan’an realized Han Zhijin had subtly matured. His actions suggested a newfound gravitas; gone was the pampered young heir of her memory.

As for Xia Chen’an, Xia Wan’an had seen him recently. Compared to a few days ago at Qin Shujian’s press conference, there was no significant difference. However, Xia Chen’an now wore a ring.

This wasn’t a testament to Xia Wan’an’s keen observation; rather, it was due to Xia Chen’an’s ostentatious nature. Whether he was holding a glass of wine or shaking hands, he always used the hand with the ring on it, deliberately flaunting it. He might as well have put a big sign on his hand that said: "Look at my ring."

A few days ago, Xia Wan’an had met with Song Youman and told her the truth, also asking her to share the information with her family. Thus, not long after Xia Wan’an reentered the venue, she was spotted by Xia Chen’an through the crowd.

Xia Wan’an knew her brother recognized her. She stared back at him for a moment and then pivoted, scanning the room, until she found Lin Zhengyi. She then made her way towards him.

Xia Chen’an, after a brief exchange with those around him, grabbed another bottle of red wine from a passing waiter’s tray and strode purposefully towards Lin Zhengyi.

"Mr. Lin..."

At the sound of Xia Chen’an’s polite voice, Lin Zhengyi instantly beamed, "Mr. Xia, it’s been a while."

"Indeed, it has..." Xia Chen’an exchanged pleasantries while raising his glass for a toast with Lin Zhengyi.

After their drink, Xia Chen’an and Lin Zhengyi exchanged a few more courtesies. Only then did Xia Chen’an, seemingly nonchalant, notice Xia Wan’an and asked, "Mr. Lin, who is this...?"

Lin Zhengyi let out a knowing "Oh!" and hurriedly introduced, "This is Xia Wanwan, the daughter of a good friend."

"Xia Wanwan, this is the distinguished Mr. Xia Chen’an from the legal industry."

Only after Lin Zhengyi had finished introducing them, did Xia Wan’an extend her hand, meeting Xia Chen’an’s gaze with a courteous smile, "Mr. Xia, nice to meet you."

Xia Chen’an stared at Xia Wan’an for a moment before extending his hand, "Miss Xia, nice to meet you."

Then, Xia Chen’an took Xia Wan’an’s hand. The moment their palms met, both Xia Wan’an and Xia Chen’an could feel the slight tremor from each other’s bodies.
